Family Literacy Night - Wed 4/5

Please join us this Wed for Family Literacy Night at Northrup! From 5:00-6:30 PM, there will be fun activities for families to listen to stories and learn about reading and literacy! The school has invited special guests from the community - including civic leaders & first responders!

We will also have an author visiting! Through a grant from the National PTA, our Northrup PTA was able to fund a special visit from Debbie Yamada, a published children's book author who will be reading from her book and sharing about being author. Debbie's work draws on her diverse background, inspiring students to look within and write about the stories on their hearts. Her work includes Striking it Rich: Treasures from Gold Mountain (an intergenerational retelling of the experiences of Chinese workers during California's Gold Rush) and Old Charlie the Fire Horse (a fictional picture book based on the antics of a real-life fire horse who worked during the Gold a rush).

Please join us for this fun & exciting event. RSVP at the link below. But all are welcome even if you don't RSVP. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
